Thread: website/page planning - screen capture plug-in

For those of you trying to visually convey your idea, explain something, or just trying to plan your next site changes for testing grab this plug in for firefox.

It gives you the ability to grab the entire webpage so you can stick it in editing software and move things around before you do the coding... great for planning.

Yup! I have been using that for my site to capture screen on Firefox.

I also use the following shareware for other screen capture and photo viewing.

IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide

Yes, I use that one and I like it. Very useful. Good call on that one.

It allow you to capture the entire page even the area that is below the viewable area. It also allows you to select the area that you want to capture.

Very nice tool!

Yup capture the entire page.

Two useful things i use it for.

#1 viewing the entire page so i can gauge the eye flow of a page and relevency as you move down. great for showing people how there relevance eye tracking is off.

#2 printing the whole screen so i can chop and move parts around to see what works best. That's a lot more efficient for page and project planning, why code it all to see what it looks like when you can do it ahead of time in PS. then get two finals and split test them.
